Subscription Tiers
Planetia is free to play — the full competitive game is free, no payment required. Supporter options offer quality-of-life improvements and cosmetic access — never pay-to-win gameplay advantages (ADR-013: no subscription or pass may grant a resource, research, fleet, or combat advantage).
| Product | Price | Billing | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round Pass | $1.99 | One-time, covers one full round | Playing a single round without committing to a subscription |
| Supporter | $0.99/month | Recurring | Ongoing cosmetics + QoL across every round |
| Yearly | $9.99/year | Recurring (best value — ≈4-5 Round Passes) | Players who know they’re in for the long haul |
Round Pass, Supporter, and Yearly all unlock the same set of cosmetic and quality-of-life perks (extra cosmetic slots, expanded intel report history, priority support, early Beta access) — they differ only in billing, not benefits. Round Pass is scoped to the round you buy it in; Supporter and Yearly renew automatically until cancelled.
